Approval Template Management - Make File Attachment Optional

Question

Hello folks,&nbsp;While creating an a new Teams Approval Template, is there any possibility to make the File attachment optional ?&nbsp;As of now, it has only 1 switch: either Required or not (see capture 1), however in the Default Approval Template, the attachments are optional (see capture 2), hence wondering how it can be done.&nbsp;Capture 1&nbsp;Capture 2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

I have the same problem. This seems to be a basic feature but still not available. I wonder how we can implement Approval Templates with optional attachments in the form.
